In-Person Hands-On Scanning, How Does It Work?
We Come To YOU!
The hands-on ultrasound course for women's health providers consists of two main components. First, participants will complete an online course lasting 8 to 10 hours, which provides essential background information necessary for effective hands-on scanning. This online course must be finished prior to the hands-on portion of the training.
The second component is the hands-on scanning course itself, available in two formats: a one-day course and a two-day course. The one-day course focuses on basic scanning techniques and offers an introduction to various obstetric and gynecologic Point of Care ultrasound exams. The cost for the one-day course is $1,500 per participant, and attendees will earn 18.0 ACNM credits and 17.5 AANP CE credits. The two-day course provides additional scanning experience, allowing participants to perform exams independently and enhance their skills. This course is priced at $2,500 per participant and offers 26.0 ACNM credits and 25.5 AANP CE credits. You must have a minimum of 4 providers in order for us to travel to you.
To ensure a well-organized event, it is important to set course dates at least 2 to 3 months in advance. Each day will run from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, with a one-hour lunch break from 12:00 PM to 1:00 PM. We will pay for the lunch if you can arrange for it to be brought in. The instructor will pay by credit card. It works well if a menu could be available before we start in the morning. We will use the ultrasound equipment you will be using in the office or L&D. That is one of the advantages of doing the course in your own environment; you get to learn the specifics of your own machine. The machine needs to have a transducer (probe) for abdominal scanning as well as a transvaginal transducer. Please let me know what type of machine you have. In addition to the machine, you will need to have an ample supply of ultrasound gel, towels to wipe the gel off of bellies, and drapes for the transvaginal scans. If the patient or her support person wants pictures, they are welcome to use their phone camera to take photos.
It is the responsibility of the hosting facility to schedule 12 patient models for each day of the course, and a designated waiting area for these patients is necessary. Additionally, the instructor will provide consent forms for all patient models to sign on the day of the event. Regarding payment, a completed registration form is required to receive an invoice, and fees must be paid six weeks prior to the course start date. Please note that course fees are non-refundable.
